We hope you are considering joining our group and keeping in touch with other retired educators. We have had 20 - 25 people in attendance, which is pretty good for a fledgling association of retired people. We don't seem to stay in town too long. We are so busy now, we're not sure how we ever found the time to teach, grade papers, plan, call parents, attend meetings, go to professional development seminars, and eat a meal.

Affiliation

Our local unit is affiliated with Florida Retired Educator Association. FREA

Dues

As of our February 2016 meeting, we have 10 members who have paid their dues. If you pay your yearly dues NOW, you will be paid through June 2017!!! Normally if you paid now, you would be required to renew on July 1, 2016, but since we are just getting established, the FREA has granted us additional months of benefits and you will not need to renew until July 2017! Thanks District 6 Staff for making this happen!!

Local Hernando County Annual Dues are $15. State Association Dues are $35.

How do I Register and Pay my Local and State Dues?

State membership is $35 for the year, July-June. Local Dues are $15. You do not pay dues at a HCREA meeting. You might also decide to include $4 for Political Action, but that is not required.

If you want to write a check for $50 or $54, download the membership form at: http://www.frea.org/images/Membership_Application_2015-2016.jpg . Complete the form and pay for all dues by mailing the form and a check in to the St. Pete address.

If you want to pay your dues by credit card, call 727-577-6400 . They will take your information, your local and state dues will be charged to your credit card. Then they send our treasurer, Alan Solomon, the local dues.

Please plan to attend our next meeting. If you have taught in Hernando County, you are sure to see some familiar faces.
